Commit c28c15b ("powerpc/code-patching: Use temporary mm for
Radix MMU") is inspired from x86 but unlike x86 is doesn't disable
KASAN reports during patching. This wasn't a problem at the begining
because __patch_mem() is not instrumented.

Commit 465cabc ("powerpc/code-patching: introduce
patch_instructions()") use copy_to_kernel_nofault() to copy several
instructions at once. But when using temporary mm the destination is
not regular kernel memory but a kind of kernel-like memory located
in user address space. Because it is not in kernel address space it is
not covered by KASAN shadow memory. Since commit e4137f0 ("mm,
kasan, kmsan: instrument copy_from/to_kernel_nofault") KASAN reports
bad accesses from copy_to_kernel_nofault(). Here a bad access to user
memory is reported because KASAN detects the lack of shadow memory and
the address is below TASK_SIZE.

Do like x86 in commit b3fd8e8 ("x86/alternatives: Use temporary
mm for text poking") and disable KASAN reports during patching when
using temporary mm.
